The memories made Niu Huanran feel irritable, he waved his hand like a fly, lowered his eyes and looked at Tian Guo, and said in a cold tone: "What are you willing to do is your own business, you don't have to report to me one by one, and I don't have time to listen to your nagging, aren't you still setting up a stall in Xiushui?" Then set up a stall, I won't care about you from now on, and you won't come to our house again, we should not know each other! Also, if you take back these foreign things with letters printed on them, I can't afford them. β
"It's not for you!" Tian Guo said coldly, angry, I really wanted to slap Niu Huanran in the face, "This is what I brought to your aunt and grandfather, if you don't eat it, just put it here, I'll send it to them." β
"Grandpa?" Huan Ran snorted coldly, "Is he your grandfather?" So dear! β
He is like a child under the age of ten, completely different from the reserved and steady image when I first met him. Tian Guo thought to himself whether Niu Huanran had early menopause, or had he changed his inner core? With a sigh, he said, "Huanran, can you stop being so naΓ―ve?" I'm also twenty-five years old, is it okay to be a little more mature? β
Refreshed. For the first time, she didn't call the "brother" with a clear relationship and some respect on the suffix of his name.
"I know you have always had an opinion on my stall, this is caused by the environment and vision, you are angry, you don't understand, I don't blame you, even if you don't care about me from now on, we are not people in the same world, but my aunt and grandfather have nothing to do with this matter, as a junior, I will see that they are always okay, right? Isn't that too much? I'm here to deliver something, not to steal something, so why are you so angry? β
Tian Guo is really strange, although Guan Huanran is called "brother", but he is not his own brother after all, he is not tired of caring about so many things? Even if it's his own brother, he won't be so angry because his sister doesn't listen to him, right?
Huan Ran was lucky alone, and Tian Guo's words made him feel like a little kid who hadn't grown up. Also, her sentence "We are not people in the same world." "How awkward it is, it causes a burst of stuffiness in my chest. She said that calmly, but he couldn't grasp the point at all, the only thing that was clear was that at the moment, he was angry.
"Yonedaka, who did you just scold for being naΓ―ve?"
Tian Guo was stunned for a moment, thinking that Niu Huanran's reflex arc was too long, "You misunderstood, I didn't scold you, naivety is not a scolding word, it means that you are immature." β
Huan Ran snorted crookedly, and glanced up and down at Tian Guo with his hands on his waist, "So, you are very mature?" β
Anyway, the two people who are more mature than you are staring at each other like fighting cocks, and the tadpole and Xu Qiang hooked their shoulders and swayed from the mouth of the alley.
"Oh, Brother Ran." The two of them ran over with a flattering face, and saw that Huan Ran's face was not good, and Tian Guo, who also had a very stinky face, stood opposite. The tadpole didn't think it was a big deal, so he used his elbow to unify Xu Qiang, and said: "Oh, what's the matter, you can't be angry on dog days, Tian Guo, did you make our brother Ran angry again, sue you, Brother Ran has a blind date next week, don't make Brother Ran angry." β
"That's it, that's it, Tian Guo, you know something, Brother Ran has reached the most critical moment in his life, and a few of us are still waiting for the end of the year to drink happy wine." Xu Qiang echoed with a grin.
Tian Guo was stunned for a moment, and looked at Huan Ran in disbelief: "You, you're going on a blind date?" β
Huan Ran didn't speak, as if he was too lazy to take care of her, threw the plastic bag in his hand into the tadpole's arms, and said, "Take it, Tianguo bought it for you." β
Tian Guo was stunned again, when did these things become for tadpoles? Just as he was about to reach out and snatch the plastic bag back, Tadpole and Xu Qiang had already peeled off a piece of Hershey's chocolate. "Oh, what about foreign chocolates, thank you Tianguo, there are any good things that still think about our brothers. Brother Hey, don't you eat it? β
Huan Ran waved his hand, and his sharp gaze fell on Tian Guo's face, "It was originally for you, right, Tian Guo?" β
This is tantamount to provocation, Tian Guo didn't speak, pursed his lips and glared at Niu Huanran, if his gaze could turn into fire, the current Huanran would have turned into a pile of ashes.
"Thank you, little fruit!" Tadpoles and Xu Qiang continued to "add fuel to the fire", and each peeled off another piece of chocolate.
"This foreign chocolate is delicious."
"I'm cao, I don't have a few pieces in this pocket, you can eat leisurely!" The tadpole was so angry that he slapped Xu Qiang's head, "Brother Ran, you and Xiaoguo'er talk first, and Xu Qiang and I will go home first." The tadpole was clever, and he saw that Huan Ran and Tian Guo were a little wrong, for fear of stepping on the thunder, he tied up the plastic bag and dragged the stupid Xu Qiang to quickly leave the land of right and wrong.
The alley was quiet again, Tian Guo threw the towel in his hand on Huanran's face, gritted his teeth and said, "Niu Huanran, if I buy you something in the future, I will be a big fool!" β
Huan Ran didn't speak, the pestle was petrified in place, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of dust under the cover of the towel. After a while, Aunt Wang pushed her grandson out for a walk, and saw Huan Ran with a towel on his head, standing at the door of his house like a sculpture for a long time, and couldn't help but ask: "Ranzi, if you don't go home to sleep at noon, what are you doing?" β
"Didn't do anything." His muffled voice came from the towel.
"Then you have one of these towels on your head."
"Oh, I practice qigong." Huan took off the towel, pushed open the door of his yard and walked in.

Life has to go on.
On the weekend, Tian Guo rested, and after a hurried breakfast, he went to Xiushui with a gift he bought from the Friendship Store. Liu Mazi has been staying in Guangzhou to pick up goods last month, and only returned to Beijing before yesterday, and it is estimated that he will come to Xiushui today. Zhang Li had a foreign language class in the morning, and Tian Guo wanted to take advantage of Zhang Li's absence to give the gift out.
Tian Guo has been thinking a lot in the past few days, although it saves Zhang Li a lot of trouble to work, but it is not a common thing to send people under the fence after all, Zhang Li is a person of this era after all, no matter how different she is, compared with Tian Guo, some ideas are still backward, and she can't let go of her hands and feet, which is not to blame her, after all, no one can see the rapid development of China in a few years.
Last week, Zhang Li has vaguely revealed that she wants to be a tour guide, "I have inquired, the tour guide earns a lot, our country is open, the future travel industry is definitely popular, English tour guides must earn more, in addition to the group fee tip to go shopping at some scenic spots, the scenic spot also gives the tour guide money!" β
Listen to her, first go to the tour guide certificate to take the test, first start with a domestic tour guide, and you can learn English slowly. Tian Guo thought that if Zhang Li insisted on being a tour guide, she would take down this stall and borrow it if she didn't have enough money. When the time comes, it is inevitable to deal with Liu Mazi, with the development of the times, there will be more and more self-employed people, and Xiushui's stalls will definitely become more and more tense, and Tian Guo has to prepare in advance.
The general manager's office was originally a small state-run store, and now the first floor is still a store, selling daily necessities or something, and a room on the second floor is given to Liu Mazi.
It is said to be an office, and the layout inside is extremely simple. There were no computers at that time, and a desk was placed in the corner of the room, and a plain wooden chair with a backrest was in the back. There is a beautiful calendar on the wall, a telephone, an abacus, receipts, pen and paper and other office supplies on the table, and a Panasonic electric fan, which seemed very rare in the eighties.
Downstairs, Tian Guo met a younger brother under Liu Mazi.
"Brother Liu hasn't come yet, you can go directly to the office and wait." After the little brother finished speaking, he got on his bicycle and left.
When Tian Guo walked upstairs with the gift, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, thinking that Liu Mazi, a rough man, would like this set of Western tableware? Hey, I should have picked one more in the mall at that time.
What was more unexpected was that when Tian Guo pushed the door open, there was already a person standing behind the desk, looking down and flipping through the receipts and the like.
Hearing footsteps, the man looked up slightly. The four eyes met, and Tian Guo was stunned! Isn't this the man in the white shirt I saw at the Friendship Store that day? Why is he here?
Obviously, seeing Tian Guo, the man in the white shirt was also a little surprised. "You"
After a few seconds of silence, Tian Guo spoke softly: "Don't doubt it, we have met." "It's not interesting to play dumb riddles, pretending to be stupid and too tired, or directly admit to saving time," that day at the door of the friendship store, you forgot to bring matches, I said to help you order, but you refused. β
The shirt man smiled, a little sad: "It turns out that this is all you remember." β
"Of course not." Tian Guo put the things in her hand on the sofa first, although there was an electric fan in the house, but because of the morning sun and the hot weather, the shirt on her body was almost soaked, and she picked up a piece of white paper as a fan, and said while fanning: "Thank you for helping me that day, I originally entered the mall and said that I would like to invite you to coffee, but you walked too fast, and you couldn't find it in a blink of an eye." β
Of course, this is a polite remark, Tian Guo has no money to invite him to coffee. It's not that I can't find it in a blink of an eye, but I don't want to find it at all.
"Is it hot? If it's hot, come and blow the fan. Seeing that Tian Guo used paper as a fan, the man kindly pointed to the electric fan.
"No, I'm fine here, the door is open, ventilated." Turn around and look out the window.
The sun has risen and has lit up the entire Silk Street.
The man raised his right eyebrow, stared at Tian Guo's back for a few seconds, suddenly smiled, and asked, "You came to find Liu Mazi?" β
"Hmm." Tian Guo responded casually.
"What's the matter with him?"
"Nothing." I can't tell you something. What are you doing?
"If there's something to do, tell me the same." The man walked slowly. Today, he wore a light blue shirt and ironed flat black suit pants underneath, and his temperament looked more elegant. Glancing at the plastic bag on the sofa, he smiled lightly and asked, "This is what I bought at the Friendship Store that day?" β
"Yes." Tian Guo didn't deny it, but his hand inadvertently caged the mouth of the plastic bag to prevent the man from seeing the contents clearly.
Of course, the man understood what she meant, and his gaze moved from the plastic tape to Tian Guo's face, "Did you buy it for Liu Mazi?" β
Tian Guo didn't speak, thinking to himself if you can handle it.
"Are you setting up a stall in Xiushui, or do you want to come to Xiushui to set up a stall, so you have to ask Liu Mazi?" He pulled a cigarette out of his pocket.
Tian Guo still didn't speak, mainly because he didn't know what to say, and he seemed to be very familiar with Liu Mazi when he heard this person's tone. It's really unlucky, how could there be such a coincidence?
